The Investment Value
Question: What will my "return on investment" be when I purchase a new roof system?

According to Popular Mechanics May 1999 issue, "...expect to recoup as much as 75% of the cost of your new
roof system in market value as soon as it's installed."

What does this really mean? Let's take a look!
Example:  The owner of a $100,000 home is considering purchasing a new roof system at the national average
cost of $9,866.

Fact: Property values have increased at an average of 6% per year nationally since the Great Depression (
1998
Census Bureau Housing and Household Statistics Division
).  According to the Chicago Sun Times, West
Michigan property values have increased by 14% annually, but in our example we'll use a modest rate of only
6%.
Homeowner Does Nothing

increasing 6% annually,
but roof is deteriorating.

2nd Year - $112,360
3rd Year - $119,102
4th Year - $126,248
5th Year - $133,823
Homeowner Purchases Roof
$100,000 home value
+ $7,400 (75% x 9,866)
$107,400 market value

2nd Year - $120,675
3rd Year - $127,915
